Passion and Beauty

Enter the Atelier Acquachiara of an experience that fills your eyes with beauty and your heart with magic

Like a magical treasure chest, Viale Bianca Maria 26, in Milan, encloses an atelier where dreams come true. Ring the bell, and a kind voice announces that you are entering the realm of Acquachiara. From a garden, a staircase leads to the entrance. Here, the atmosphere is refined: soft colors, a lace dress on a mannequin, a settee, a desk with a vase full of flowers…you’re tempted not to leave. A bride arrives who has to pick up her dress. A radiant smile says that she’s ready, that everything is ready and, what’s most important, she feels wonderful in her dress, a dress that was exclusively made for her with such great attention. She’s received by someone who, by now, knows her well and, with most sincere wishes,  hands  her  a  beautiful  white  gown. Then, the mind and heart of the maison arrives: Daniela Basile. A sincere look, a steadfast sweetness, a sensitivity that captivates you and enchants you. A bride knows she can rely on her to be perfect on her most important day. A woman fascinated by beauty, who loves to dare, develop new ideas, able to transmit a boundless passion for her work, with the enthusiasm of a child, an artist enriched by the stimuli that come from her travels and the knowledge of distant and different realities. Her story begins with wedding favors. Special, exquisite objects created in collaboration with famous architects. Then, a turning point. Why not make wedding dresses? Always following what her heart dictates, Daniela embarks on this new journey. She doesn’t just want to open a shop. She wants a special place, one that welcomes future brides and makes them feel unique and protected, like the princess in a fairy tale. And it was a winning choice. Many girls walk by the atelier dreaming of entering one day to realize their little girl dreams. “It’s magical. The right dress lights a spark. E dress and only that one, none other. When you find it, it is an emotional moment.” These are Daniela’s words. In her creations, good taste, finesse, simplicity, and elegance are combined with high craftsmanship that guarantees a bespoke service. The carefully selected première mains who assist her, giving great care to every single detail, one fitting after another, create impeccable dresses that enhance the future bride’s beauty. These brides come from every part of Italy and from abroad, and you can just imagine why. Any new projects for the future? “Of course”, Daniela says, tireless and always ready to seize new opportunities… “but for the moment, they remain top-secret.”
